I had a tip off about a new product from someone and when i checked the website i was shocked at what i saw. This levitation seems wrong. I must state i am not saying it is a scam or a con but it does not seem right to me. If anyone watches the demo videos i would love to know what you think of it.

I agree. I just don't see how this levitation would work.

I have no idea how this works but it looks amazing. I want it but I am a little aprehensive to see if its worth the money. I will wait for a review before purchasing to be on the safe side.

It just looks a little to good to be true...

anyone got a hundy they can spot me to check it out in more detail?

I dunno about this. that first vid to me looked bad. Looked cut and edited, but I think they may have been the vid itself being shaky.

2nd, hrmm..still looks a bit goofy to me.

If you are "wearing" something like stated, I just don't see how this could be done close up. Stage at 10ft away.. sure.. but close up?

Agreed but watch the second demo video, maybe it's working with the curtain. I dont want to expose anything, just my tought. Selling a dvd on a freewebs website is also suspecious Sound strange at all...

I also thought that but isn't there alot of security in buying with paypal?

The youtube demo was good but the one before it just looked like he was being pulled up the side of the house

Looks dodgy... I just thought the guy in the 2nd vid looks like he got the wedgie(?) of his life
I wouldn't risk my money on that.

There plenty other good levitation out there, why risking your money on this one. Maybe it's an amazing trick, only god know...and maybe those little green men looking for gold at the end of a rainbow know. Who knows?

I'm a bit tired tonight...

If it was true this guy would be making LOADS selling it to like ellusionist and other sites.

DON'T be afraid to buy it if you really want it though, that is if the paypal really does lead to the correct paypal site and not some scam site. Paypal are always biased towards the buyer, and if the product is like false advertised then you can just get your money back.

i found this video on my computer
http://media.putfile.com/video-of-a-guy-levitating where you can see almost chriss angels levitation (shown on mindfreakDVDII) ...but there are two or three parts that don´t seem to be angels leviation (to me)...it looks very similar to the x-levitation...just watch.

there's some "iffy" editting going on in that

OK so here is my opinion, as a guy that knows a thing or two about Photoshop and video editing.

I would like to point out to you first that the 2 demos where consisted on 3 shot:
The first demo was made of two shots; the first was a fully static shot of the kid levitating up the building wall.
The second shot (of the legs levitating) was filmed by hand (notice the shaking of the shot).
And the only shot on the second demo was also fully static.

Now here is a nice piece of info for you if you haven't known already, for a novice or even intermediate film editor, it is pretty much impossible to "fix" non-static filmed clips, because the shot and background constantly change.

If you only looked at the second demo you might think he is just a one man show and that's why the film is static (the camera set on a stand)
BUT, you can clearly see on the first demo he does have someone to film him, but he only uses him for a leg-only close up and not to film the full levitation, fishy? Yep you can call it that way.

Also notice where the first levitation demo takes place: right next to a short building wall, which is the perfect way to someone that don't have a crane or lever of some sort to perform wire/cord based levitation.

So, my conclusion, which of course is not absolute but it's probably the reason for the "fishiness", is that it was a simple double cord levitation that had some computer fixing here and there (just like dear old Blaine and Criss Angel like to do).

Thanks guys! it looked not right! you pre-order, pay now and it is released in November.
